The amazing Suzuki Omnichord, a form of electric autoharp, has taken popular music by storm. Everyone from Bob Dylan to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have got their hands on one. With a learning curve of around 5 minutes, you too can become the next aspiring omnichord musician! Here is a list of just some of the great omnichord songs to get you inspired.
